To be honest, a little, yes. Keep hearing about all this depth we have now

It has literally been brought up over and over by CB and on every broadcast.

I'm OK if we are still developing that depth. I'm also OK if that means that games might be a little closer. I am curious why we had so many guys go down in game action this week. Was USF just dirty? Are the guys run down? Is it a S&C thing? Poor technique? That was an alarming amount of injuries against a team that should have been overmatched, and yes, probably even by our backups.

Excited to be 4-0, no doubt. Concerned with some of the inconsistency we're seeing on the field.

Why can't expectations change from week to week as the game results come in? I love the comments that "you didn't expect more than 7-8 wins this year anyway, and if you did, you were dumb. so just be happy with it."

So, let me see if I understand this correctly. Because we are 4-0 and just won a game we can't be worried about the

Play calling questions are fine. Existential questions about the staff are not.

Thank you, Dr. Questionology.

So we discovered this year that our defensive starters are good but the backups aren’t. Surprised?

I'm not necessarily surprised, no. But I guess I can't be a little disappointed in that?

You actually made my point very succinctly. The complaint is a moving target.
